[PRQ#51374] Merge Request for mono-nightly
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge mono-nightly [2] into mono-git [3]: 'mono-nightly' is defunct, unmaintained since 2022-03-07. Its former owner orphaned it. It has no comments, and only 1 AUR vote. It makes sense to keep only the '-git' package, as that is practically quite the same as if the nightly package was version-bumped every day.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge airvpn-beta-bin [2] into eddie- ui-git [3]: Upstream has renamed this client to "Eddie", and maintains the target '-git' package on AUR instead of a fixed version beta.

[PRQ#49489] Deletion Request for dolphin-nospace
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dolphin-nospace [2]: Minimal mod of repo's dolphin. Not actively maintained: failed to follow repo's Aug 27, 2023 major KDE Gear update, after which two point releases also got pushed to extra. This is also broken as of now, due to repo's KDE5 Frameworks packages getting renamed. 0 votes. Only I and maintainer left comments (in July 2023). AUR packages have to be useful to more than a few people. I don't think anyone uses this on current Arch, including maintainer themself. @A1ca7raz, if there is an issue with Dolphin, please file an Arch bug report, and if relevant, an upstream ticket in KDE's BugZilla, or a Gitlab issue on invent.kde.org.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge autopsy-bin [2] into autopsy [3]: 'autopsy-bin' is an unmaintained duplicate of 'autopsy', which is kept properly up-to-date.

[PRQ#48069] Deletion Request for biicode
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for biicode [2]: Broken, not just because of totally incompetent packaging, missing half a dozen undeclared Python2 dependencies, but also because this is an online-only package manager tool, like the pacman -S functionality, or pip install [modulename], without an available server. If someone installs the required Python2 packages, biicode just makes a web call to a nonexistent Heroku PaaS container with a hardcoded URL: https://biiserverproduction.herokuapp.com/ And then it does not do anything: all it responds every time is, even to the '--help' invocation: ERROR: None or bad command. Type "bii --help" for available commands The company that created biicode is defunct since 2015. This tool is dead without its online repository / metadata server. By the way the package bundles not just the client but the server as well, which is totally bogus. And also defunct, relying on a long-EOL mongodb server.
